Get ready to be introduced to a Powerhouse, Fermented, Probiotic Milk Drink, that is really going to amp up your immune system. Don't be surprised if certain ailments start to disappear with the regular consumption of Kefir and you start feeling full of energy again. This Probiotic Loaded drink is no joke, it's serious food for the gut.
Servings: 1 portion
Equipment
- 1 Glass Jar with lid
- 1 Plastic Sieve
- 1 Bowl Food grade plastic or stainless steel
Ingredients
- 1 C Milk - 3% or heavier
- 1 tsp Kefir Grains - Anywhere from 1 tsp — 1 Tbl per cup of Milk based on taste
Instructions
- Place Kefir Grains into a glass jar and add fresh milk. Mix well and cover loosely with a lid. Set aside in a dark, warm place like the cupboards for about 24 hours. Check your Kefir, it should be thickened with a slight sour taste.
- Strain out the Kefir Grains with a plastic sieve and consume or refrigerate the Kefir for later. For a really smooth Kefir, strain a second time using a fine sieve so that there isn't any small bits of grains in the Kefir.
- Repeat, making a new batch with the strained out Kefir Grains and Fresh Milk. Adjust the amount of Milk you use with the Kefir Gains, adding more milk for a slower ferment or less milk for a faster ferment. Generally, 1 tsp to 1 Tbl Kefir Grains per 1 Cup of Milk is good for a 24-hour ferment. Adjust as you see fit, to suit your taste.
Notes
